What You Need to Know About Dental Implants

And How Dr. K. Ashraf Can Help

Dental Implants from Our Practice

Before we treat any patient with implants, we first conduct a thorough examination in order to make sure that this treatment is best for you. We are not in the practice of providing a treatment to a patient who may not fully benefit from it, which is why we learn more about you and your individual circumstances before recommending treatment with dental implants.

Our practice utilizes a four-step treatment process in order to help ensure our patients get the best possible results. The first of these is the consultation we spoke of above. Once it is decided that you will benefit from implant treatment, you will move forward with the implant procedure, which is when the implant fixture will be placed. You will then need three to six months to heal before your replacement tooth will be placed.

Recreate Your Smile Using Dental Implants

Because dental implants are naturally fused to your jawbone through an organic process called osseointegration, this treatment comes with many exclusive benefits that cannot be matched by other restorations methods. Not only can implants strengthen your jaw by completing your smile, but they can also increase your confidence and prevent your jawbone from deteriorating.

Dental Implants are quickly beginning to replace dentures as the most popular treatment for missing teeth because of their ability to provide restorations that provide better comfort and feel than what is available using dentures alone. We often receive patients who are looking to swap out their dentures for dental implants, as they desire a more permanent solution to their missing teeth.

Schedule Your Consultation Today

If you are suffering from missing teeth, it is important that you treat the problem as soon as possible. By failing to restore missing teeth, you are opening your oral health to dangerous oral conditions such as tooth decay and gum disease. By restoring these missing teeth with dental implants, you can prevent these conditions while also enjoying the benefits of realistic-working replacement teeth. If you would like to learn more about dental implants and what they can offer you, we encourage you to contact us and schedule a no-obligation consultation with Dr. K. Ashraf today.

During this difficult time, we are trying to do our part during the COVID-19 crisis. We are continuing to see patients with dentofacial emergencies. This means as one of the few practices remaining open during this pandemic, we are treating patients with emergencies from our fellow dental colleagues, in the Waterloo and Wellington regions (Waterloo-Kitchener-Cambridge and Guelph and surrounding townships)
We hope to assist and help as many people as we can. We also hope this will reduce the number of patients that are visiting hospitals that can be treated by us, thus freeing up time and room for the hospitals and slowing the spread of this virus.
Some additional steps our practice has taken to slow down the spread of the virus and "flatten the curve" are:
- Sanitation of common areas such as the front entry doors and the waiting room in between every patient
- Appointments are spread out so that the waiting area only has one patient at a time
- All front desk staff are wearing masks
- State of the art air purifiers (Surgically Clean Air Units x5 in total)
- Patients receive gloves upon entering the clinic
And of course we have all required PPE protocol set as a standard by the Royal College of Dental Surgeons and the Province of Ontario.
During this time we all need to help each other and do our part, only then can we pull through this quicker and return to a more happy, thankful and prosperous society.
Wishing you all the best of health,
From our family to yours.
